How I polish the posterior capsule during cataract and lens replacement surgery - The Capsule Guard.

For each cataract or lens replacement surgery, we remove the cortex then are left with these small cortical fibers that are adherent to the posterior capsule. Over the past year, we have been using the capsule guard which is a single-use irrigation and aspiration instrument as our go-to device. The capsule guard is the most capsule-friendly I/A device that I have used in my career. To polish the posterior capsule, I directly aspirate the posterior capsular fibers under low vacuum. I am careful to only move the aspiration tip and aspirate the posterior capsule moving in a linear or curvilinear motion from bottom to top or side-to-side. I do not aspirate moving from top to bottom or aspirate in two directions in order to avoid inadvertently tearing the posterior capsule. Using this instrument with this technique has proven to be extremely safe and effective for creating the clearest posterior capsules possible during cataract and lens replacement surgery. I have no financial interest in this product or the manufacturer.
